伊朗专家警告：突袭“镐山”的窗口或已关闭
美国防卫民主基金会的贝赫南·本·塔布卢表示，随着伊朗加固入口并翻新敏感设施，其深埋地下的核相关地点正构成日益严峻的军事挑战。

新卫星图像显示，伊朗已在“镐山”的隧道入口周围增设新防御设施。这座深埋地下的核相关地点是唐纳德·特朗普总统多次威胁要突袭的目标。与此同时，俄罗斯和中国周四否决了美国起草的安理会决议，该决议旨在保留对伊朗制裁的国际监测机制。
科学与国际安全研究所周四发布的一份报告称，9月11日的卫星图像显示，通往纳坦兹核综合体附近“镐山”西侧隧道入口的道路上仍设有土制路障。该研究所表示，持续受限的通行状况进一步印证了其评估：该设施目前未用于正常运作，同时评估认为内部仍留存有贵重设备或材料。
该报告还指出，其中一处西侧隧道入口以及2007年首次修建的附近一组入口上方新增了土方。该研究所表示，新增的土方增加了保护入口的土层厚度，有助于加固入口以抵御空袭。

这些发现发布于特朗普针对“镐山”发出最新警告的一周后。
“我们注意到‘镐山’有一些小动静，”特朗普上周对记者表示，“我奉劝伊朗别耍小聪明，因为我们会毫不犹豫地狠狠打击他们。”
特朗普多次提及袭击该地点的可能性。在7月28日《福克斯与朋友们》的采访中（白宫重点提及了此次采访），特朗普表示美国正在密切监视“镐山”，并清楚“那里到底在发生什么”，还补充称如果外交努力失败，华盛顿可以“摧毁‘镐山’”。
“镐山”距离纳坦兹约两公里，拥有多个通往深埋地下综合体的隧道入口。2020年纳坦兹一处先进离心机组装设施遭破坏后，该设施开始动工。伊朗官员随后表示，正在建造替代的地下设施用于先进离心机生产。分析人士估计，该设施部分区域可能埋在山体下至少100米处。伊朗方面称该地点没有核活动。

美国防卫民主基金会伊朗项目高级主任贝赫南·本·塔布卢告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，一些分析师认为，对“镐山”发动直接突袭的机会可能已经逝去。
“在一些人看来，突袭‘镐山’的窗口已经关闭，因为伊朗政权已经挖出了比福特ow地下设施深数倍的地下核设施，”本·塔布卢说。但他辩称，即便摧毁地下综合体本身存在难度，华盛顿仍保有军事选项。
“华盛顿可以采取传统上针对地下、加固设防地点的应对手段，也就是封堵其入口，提高伊朗伊斯兰共和国挖掘通道的政治成本，”他说。
“虽然目前可能没有完美的弹药，但山姆大叔总能拿出更大的炸弹，”本·塔布卢补充道，“与此同时，他们可以通过封堵入口表明自己说到做到。”

“镐山”的相关发现公布之际，伊朗另一处敏感设施也出现重建迹象。
该研究所周四发布的另一份报告称，伊朗正在德黑兰东南部帕钦军事综合体的“塔勒甘2号”设施上“快速推进重建工作”。凡托科技公司9月13日的卫星图像显示，伊朗在被摧毁的加固设施上方搭建了防水布，遮挡了卫星或空中观测下的地下作业，同时场地周围有自卸卡车、推土机、混凝土设备和起重机正在作业。
该研究所表示，伊朗还修建了新的钢筋混凝土结构，可进一步增强对空袭的防护能力。“塔勒甘2号”曾于2024年10月和2026年3月遭以色列空袭，伊朗曾对该设施进行重建和加固。该研究所表示，德黑兰对该场地的计划仍存在诸多疑问。
这些军事动态发生之际，联合国层面也爆发了针对伊朗的另一轮对抗。

俄罗斯和中国周四否决了美国起草的安理会决议，该决议原本将支持第1737号伊朗制裁委员会专家小组的授权延期一年，至2027年9月。该决议以11票赞成获得通过，巴基斯坦和索马里投了弃权票。
该专家小组负责调查涉嫌违反制裁的行为，并报告制裁执行情况。此次争议反映了更深层次的分歧：围绕2015年核协议下暂停的联合国制裁是否通过“快速恢复”机制合法恢复。大多数安理会成员国认为，制裁及相关监测机制已恢复生效，而俄罗斯和中国则拒绝承认这一立场的法律和程序合法性。
投票前一天，美国常驻联合国大使迈克·沃尔茨在纽约对记者表示，华盛顿认为制裁已合法恢复。
“快速恢复制裁……已经生效，美国和联合国安理会遵循了相关必要程序，”沃尔茨周三在福克斯新闻数字频道出席的新闻发布会上表示，“这些制裁已经生效，我们期望相关各方全面执行这些制裁。”
沃尔茨表示，专家小组至关重要，因为受制裁的企业和个人可能试图通过更改名称和公司结构来规避限制。
“总统已经明确表态，国际社会也通过一项又一项决议明确表示，伊朗政权不能拥有核武器，”沃尔茨说。

周四，联合国也对华盛顿和德黑兰双方展开了新的审查。一个独立的联合国事实调查团表示，有合理理由相信美国2月份对伊朗民用目标的两次袭击构成战争罪，同时得出结论称伊朗当局在镇压反政府抗议期间犯下危害人类罪。该调查团仅负责调查而非司法审判，其调查结果本身并不构成刑事判决。

Iran expert warns Pickaxe Mountain strike window may be closing
FDD’s Behnam Ben Taleblu says Iran’s deeply buried nuclear-linked site poses a growing military challenge as Tehran hardens entrances and rebuilds sensitive facilities.

New satellite imagery shows Iran has added new defenses around tunnel entrances at Pickaxe Mountain, the deeply buried nuclear-linked site President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to strike, as Russia and China on Thursday vetoed a U.S.-drafted Security Council resolution aimed at preserving international monitoring of sanctions on Tehran.
The Institute for Science and International Security said in a report released Thursday that satellite imagery from Sept. 11 shows earthen roadblocks remain in place on roads leading to Pickaxe Mountain’s western tunnel portals near the Natanz nuclear complex. The institute said the continued restricted access reinforces its assessment that the facility is not currently being used for normal operations, while assessing that valuable equipment or materials remain inside.
The report also identified additional soil placed over one western tunnel portal and over a nearby cluster of entrances first built in 2007. The institute said the added soil increases the amount of earth protecting the entrances and helps harden them against aerial bombardment.
EXPERTS ‘DEEPLY’ CONCERNED OVER IRAN’S WORK AT UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR SITE

The findings come one week after Trump issued his latest warning over Pickaxe Mountain.
“We notice there’s a little activity at Pickaxe,” Trump told reporters last week. “I would advise Iran not to get cute because we will have to hit them very hard.”
Trump has repeatedly raised the possibility of attacking the site. In a July 28 “Fox & Friends” interview highlighted by the White House, Trump said the U.S. was watching Pickaxe closely and knew “exactly what’s going on,” adding that Washington could “take out Pickaxe” if diplomacy failed.
Pickaxe Mountain lies roughly two kilometers from Natanz and features multiple tunnel entrances leading into a deeply buried underground complex. Construction began in 2020 following sabotage that damaged an advanced centrifuge assembly facility at Natanz, and Iranian officials subsequently said a replacement underground facility was being built for advanced centrifuge production. Analysts estimate portions of the facility may be buried at least 100 meters beneath the mountain. Iran has said there is no nuclear activity at the site.
TRUMP SAYS US HAS ‘MASSIVE’ MUNITIONS STOCKPILE, VOWS ‘TREASONOUS’ LEAKERS BEING HUNTED DOWN

Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Iran program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital that some analysts believe the opportunity for a straightforward strike on Pickaxe Mountain may already have passed.
“The window to strike Pickaxe Mountain, according to some, has already expired because the regime has dug an underground nuclear facility several times deeper than Fordow,” Ben Taleblu said. But he argued that Washington retains military options even if destroying the underground complex itself proves difficult.
“Washington can do what it’s traditionally been able to do with sites that are underground, hardened and fortified, and that’s to bury their entrances and raise the political cost to the Islamic Republic of being able to dig out,” he said.
“While there may not be the perfect munition just yet, Uncle Sam always has a bigger bomb,” Ben Taleblu added. “And in the meantime, what they can do is show that they mean business by burying the entrances.”
NUCLEAR EXPERTS URGE TRUMP NOT TO LET IRAN STEER TALKS AWAY FROM REGIME’S ATOMIC THREAT

The Pickaxe findings came alongside signs of reconstruction at another sensitive Iranian facility.
In a separate report Thursday, the institute said Iran was “rapidly moving forward” with reconstruction of Taleghan 2 at the Parchin military complex southeast of Tehran. Vantor Technologies satellite imagery from Sept. 13 shows Iran erected a tarp over the destroyed hardened facility, obscuring work underneath from satellite or aerial observation, while dump trucks, bulldozers, concrete equipment and cranes were active around the site.
The institute said Iran also built new concrete reinforcement that could provide additional protection against aerial attack. Taleghan 2 was struck by Israel in October 2024 and again in March 2026 after Iran had rebuilt and hardened the facility. The institute said significant questions remain about Tehran’s plans for the site.
The military developments unfolded alongside a separate confrontation over Iran at the United Nations.

Russia and China on Thursday vetoed a U.S.-authored Security Council resolution that would have extended for another year, until September 2027, the mandate of the Panel of Experts supporting the 1737 Iran Sanctions Committee. The measure received 11 votes in favor, while Pakistan and Somalia abstained.
The panel investigates alleged sanctions violations and reports on implementation. The dispute reflects a deeper split over whether UN sanctions suspended under the 2015 nuclear agreement were legally restored through the “snapback” mechanism. Most Council members maintain that the sanctions and related monitoring structures were revived, while Russia and China reject the legal and procedural validity of that position.
A day before the vote, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz told reporters in New York that Washington considers the sanctions legally restored.
“The snapback sanctions… occurred, the United States and this U.N. Security Council followed appropriate procedures for that to occur,” Waltz said Wednesday at a news conference attended by Fox News Digital. “Those sanctions are in place and we expect those who are a party to fully enforce those sanctions.”
Waltz said the expert panel is important because sanctioned companies and individuals can attempt to evade restrictions by changing names and corporate structures.
“The president has been clear, and the world community has been clear with resolution after resolution, that the Iranian regime cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Waltz said.

Thursday also brought fresh U.N. scrutiny of both Washington and Tehran. An independent U.N. fact-finding mission said it had reasonable grounds to believe two U.S. strikes on civilian sites in Iran in February constituted war crimes, while separately concluding that Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity during their crackdown on anti-government protests. The mission is investigative rather than judicial, and its findings do not themselves constitute criminal judgments.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Iran U.N. mission for comments but didn’t receive them in time for publication.
